Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was born in Germany and later became a citizen of Switzerland. As a Western man profoundly affected by the mysticism of Eastern thought, he wrote many novels, stories, and essays that bear a vital spiritual force that has captured the imagination and loyalty of many generations of readers. In 1946, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Glass Bead Game.

    First of all, I am german and german is my first language. I read this book in Germany and loved it! Many years later, I live in the USA and wanted to read it again. At first I bought the english version and was borderline disgusted. I felt the english translation lost all of the charm, the entire atmosphere the german edition has.
    I recommend this book to anyone interested in Buddhism, finding enlightenment, finding their true path, Deepak Chopra and so on.

    Great. It looks at many philosophical issues that are worth thinking about- getting older, free will and relationships, the nature of reality and how we are part of it- with a story that is simple and a literary style that is refreshing. It's a classic for good reasons. I read it 20 years ago and it was just as rewarding to read it again

    In a burst of nostalgia, I bought this kindle edition of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. "Nostalgia" because we read it in 3rd semester (intermediate) German class quite long ago and, in fact, that's one book I kept because I knew it was a classic. I also bought Siddhartha in a burst of hope, because more recently I'd actually been able to read and appreciate some of Hesse's poetry my former housemate brought home from one of his jaunts to the downtown German language library.

    So I read Siddhartha. Again. As a designer and as a theologian, despite being very much into symbol, meaning, sign, and word, I still don't quite get the profound import of this book. I clearly remember my German Professor's "I am humanist" declarations; I also recall a friend telling me how much she'd enjoyed reading Siddhartha in English, and envied that I'd read it in German. I fully expected being a few years older would increase my appreciation, but it didn't. However, I'm still happy to own this digital edition, and I encourage you to read Siddhartha for yourself, in either a good translation or in Hermann Hesse's original German.

    Quite simply one of the best books ever written. I find myself re-reading it approximately every 10 years. And yes, you could probably find a free PDF file of the book in the public domain, but the convenience of Kindle whispernet is hard to dispute.

    Too bad there are not more German language kindle e-books. Perhaps this will change, but I suspect it's a sort of horse-before-the-carriage issue.

    Very nice story about the life of Siddharta from his young age through different stages until his life as an old man.
    It can also be seen as a criticism of the concept of teaching.

    Una volta letto questo libro, tutto d'un fiato aggiungerei, capiamo che tutti noi siamo un Siddharta che è alla ricerca di sé e quindi tutti noi siamo in grado di raggiungere un nostro status di pace. Semplicemente vivendo, aprendoci mentalmente e assimilando. Hesse non si smentisce mai
